READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

WARNING!

• Read all instructions before using the washer.

• Do not wash articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other

flammable or explosive substances, as they give

off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or

other flammable or explosive substances to the

wash water. These substances give off vapors

that could ignite or explode.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not

been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN

GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system

has not been used for such a period, before

using the washing machine, turn on all hot water

faucets and let the water flow from each for

several minutes. This will release any

accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is

flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame

during this time.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

the washer is used near children.

• Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to prevent children

from hiding inside.

• Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer

or attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in the user-maintenance

instructions or published user-repair instructions

that you understand and have the skills to carry

out.

• See Installation Instructions for grounding

requirements.

• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the garment manufacturer.

• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in

your washer. Items contaminated with cooking

oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that

could cause a load to catch fire.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

 Installation clearances

The location must be large enough to fully open

the washer door.

 Washer dimensions

• Most installations require a minimum

10 cm clearance behind the washer.

 Minimum installation spacing for recessed

area installation.

The following dimensions shown are for the

minimum spacing allowed.

Additional spacing should be considered for

installation and servicing.

• Additional clearances might be required

for wall, door and floor moldings.

• Additional spacing of 2.5 cm on all

sides of the washer is recommended to

reduce noise transfer.

Companion appliance spacing should also be

considered.

[Front view]

[Side view]

 Level floor

• Allowable slope under entire washer is 1°.

• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer

MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.

• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not

recommended.

• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly

supported structure.

NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a front-

loading washer than to a top-loader.

If your floor is wood and/or frame construction, you

may need to reinforce it. Front-loaders use

substantially faster spin speeds than top-loaders,

causing greater vibration. If the floor is not solid,

your washer will vibrate. You will hear and feel the

vibration throughout your house.

 Power outlet

• Must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the

washer. Do not overload the outlet with more

than one appliance.

• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the

customer to have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

Level adjustment

1. Adjusting the washing machine level

properly prevents excessive noise and

vibration.

Install the appliance on a solid and level

floor surface, preferably in a corner of the

room.

NOTE: Extend the feet no more than necessary

to level the washer. The more the feet are

extended, the more the washer will

vibrate.

2. If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable

feet as required. (Do not insert pieces of

wood etc. under the feet)

Make sure that all four feet are stable and

resting on the floor and then check that the

appliance is perfectly level.

(Use a spirit level)

❊ After the washer is level, tighten the lock

nuts up towards of the base of the washer.

All lock nuts must be tightened.

NOTE: If there are vibration and noise during

the spin cycle, re-check the leveling of

the washer, adjust the feet as required,

and tighten the lock nuts securely to

prevent changes in adjustment.

Run the washer with a test load to make

certain your washer is properly leveled.

Put approximately 6 pounds of laundry

in the machine. Then, press POWER,

RINSE+SPIN, and START/PAUSE, in

that order. When the machine spins at

high speed, verify that it is stable. If not,

adjust

❊ Diagonal Check

When pushing down the edges of the washing

machine top plate diagonally, the machine

should not move up and down at all. (Please,

check both of two directions)

If machine rocks when pushing the machine top

plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

1. Fabric Care Labels

Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your

garment and how it should be washed.

2. Sorting

To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash

cycle.

Different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint

transfer can occur causing discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not wash

heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3. Check before loading

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.

Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar

items.

• Check all the pockets to make sure that they

are empty. Things such as clip, matches,

pens, coins, and keys can damage both your

washer and your clothes.

• Close zippers, hooks, and strings to make

sure that these items do not snag on other

clothes.

• Pretreat dirt and stains by brushing a little

detergent dissolved in water onto stains like

collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

NOTE: Do not wash or spin water-proof clothes.

used.

Because reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning, it is important to

pretreat stains,

sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.

Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size

and soil level of the load.

For best results, avoid using too much detergent.

• Add detergent to this compartment

when using the Prewash option.

Liquid or powdered detergent may

be used in this compartment. The

detergent will automatically be

dispensed during Prewash if the

Prewash option is selected.

• Add 1/2 the recommended amount

of detergent to the Prewash

compartment and the

recommended amount of detergent

to the main wash compartment.

 The washing drum

• If you live in a hard water area, lime scale can continuously builds up in places where

it cannot be seen

and it is not easily removed from the drum.

Over time the build-up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check, these

will eventually

have to be replaced.

• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused

by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins, etc.) which have been left in the drum.

• The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.

• If you use descaling agents, dyes, or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for

washing machine use.

• Descaler could contain components that can damage part of your washing machine.

• Remove the spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
